Summary: Last year, a surprise hit managed to come from nowhere and dominate every system it was released on. Packing incredibly easy to learn, casual gameplay with the depth of an RPG, Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords was a title that just about everyone could pick up and enjoy. While much of the attention over the past year has shifted from this title to the follow up, PS3 owners were left in the dark from casting spells, laying siege to towns and killing ghouls – until now. Infinite Interactive and D3 Publisher has recently released Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords: Revenge of the Plague Lord on the PSN, which stuffs all of the fun of the original title along with the expansion pack into one cohesive gameplay experience. For the price, you can't beat getting your hands on one of the most addictive games in years with one of the longest titles ever made – as long as you overlook the fact that the game hasn't really expanded much in its port over to the PS3.

I downloaded the expansion a while ago, and it stole a couple hours of my life -- again. And I am tempted to do it all over again, start a new character, the whole shebang. It's a very addictive game. I often find myself sitting there, going "just one more enemy", and then suddenly it's 4 a.m. and I am sleep deprived.

trophies are there so that you feel like you have achieved something ... by just sitting on the couch trying to get the best ones ... so that you can show to your friend .. ohh .. i got this trophy because i worked so hard in it ...

u know what .. why dont you go out and get a real trophy ... go compete in a decathlon or something you fat obese fudge covered lard ..

whew ... getting that out of my system ... trophies are there because they add play hours to games .. but like in ps3 .. games like folk lore .. MGS4 ... etc etc.. already have long hours of play ... not much need to add more ...

but sex box lovers go to sony forums and moan and say stuff like that .. i have yet to seen a sony lover moan about internet browsers or some other console defining feature

but it's true .. 360 people always need to look for comfort on sony forums to see if they got the correct console ... while ps3 owners cant really be bother cos they know that what ever they ask for .. they get in the firmware update ...

i mean honestly .. ps3 has come so far from where they started ... divx features, 7.1 channel optical support, profile 2.0 and bd live, generic accesories update etc. etc. ( cant even plug in a usb keyboard on an xbox )

( oh and did you guys hear that 2.5 is already online ... full of new divx support .. i think they support mkv's now ...)

back to the trophy topic ... yes .. it's there ... it's been there even before they made the game ... as for who isn't using it .. i don't know .. cant blame the devs if they don't wanna spend extra $$ to integrate a trophy system ( i call that the 360 method ... ever notice that multiplatform games are limited to the xbox spec .. thus they dont look as good as the ps3 exclusives ? ... and also think that the best game they have is Gears of war ... which the ps3 version of unreal tounament surpassed ).

Even tho I never really activley went after achievements, they are still a good thing. It gives u a sense of achievement seeing it pop up on screen & the odd few funny or difficult ones you might really try for. It's the little things that really set the 360 & ps3 apart because they both have great exclusive games coming up. I must admit that i prefer the trophy system since they have levels (bronze, silver, gold, platinum) so getting a platinum trophy would be a big high. I must say that the ps3 is still behind the 360 when it comes to the online experience tho. Hardly any1 has got a mic yet so at times i feel as tho i may as well be playing against a computer controlled character & playing wipeout hd the other day me & my friend decided to play a game with each other, but u can't even invite friends to a game! Not sure if it's just wipeout or all games, but it aint good enough!
Anyway the ps3 has made alot of progress & i'm finally actually happy I bought the damn thing!
